Katrina Fenner is a Filipina-American poet based in New Jersey whose work appears or is forthcoming in ONE ART, Literary Mama, Vagabond City Lit, Lips poetry journal, Gnashing Teeth Publishing, The Post Grad Journal, drip lit mag, and elsewhere. Her chapbook manuscript was longlisted by Yellow Arrow Publishing and The Passionfruit Review in 2026. In addition, her poem, "When The Night Finally Ends," was selected by Priscilla Lustig, one of 22 local artists in Houston, TX, as inspiration for her artwork in the 2023 Color:Story exhibition at Sawyer Yards. When she is not deep in thought, she treasures her time with her little boy, her loving husband, and cat.
Katrina's previous work was published under the pseudonym k.p.fen. Under this pseudonym, she self-published a collection, and all things fragile, which reflects an earlier period of her writing; her work has since evolved considerably.
